Our Team

Welcome to RecoverED Athletes! 

We are a nonprofit organization of individuals dedicated to shining a light in the darkness of eating disorders and other mental illnesses in athletes. Please view our team below.

Board Members

Founder & Executive Director

Megan Ludke, DPT is the founder of RecoverED Athletes, a physical therapist, and a former middle school track coach. She is currently pursuing her Masters of Education in Health Education and Promotion with a concentration in Eating Disorders from Plymouth State University. She created this organization to help raise awareness about eating disorders in athletes (signified by the capital “ED” in recovered). Megan struggled with anorexia and orthorexia as a high school and collegiate athlete and saw just how destructive eating disorders can be. (Read more about her story here) While struggling, Megan didn’t see many resources on athletes that had recovered from eating disorders which is another reason why she created this site. While her background is in cross country and track, she wanted this site to include athletes from a wide variety of sports, to promote recovery in all sports. Her dream is to help prevent eating disorders by raising awareness and educating athletes and coaches. This site is also dedicated to those that are currently struggling with eating disorder(s) and will hopefully provide encouragement and support to keep fighting. Megan’s faith has been central to her recovery which is why she also has included resources and articles for Christian athletes. Please feel free to reach out to Megan through email at recoveredathletes@gmail.com or on Instagram @recoveredathletes or @megan.ludke she’d love to chat!

Marina Chen, DPT is on the RecoverED Athlete’s board as our Vice President and is also on our Social Media Team helping to design and create Instagram posts. She currently works as a physical therapist in Seattle, Washington where she enjoys recreational activities of rock climbing, hiking, and backpacking. Marina was a gymnast in high school at a time where she had struggled with body image, anorexia, and disordered eating. She has made strides in her own recovery process and would love to inspire and provide resources to guide others in their own recovery as well.
